ERASMUS+ FOREIGN LANGUAGE EXAM
Students who do not have a valid foreign language exam result may take the Erasmus+ English Proficiency Exam, which will be administered by the School of Foreign Languages.
Students who do not have a language certificate at the time of application must select the option "I want to take the University's foreign language exam" on the TURNA Portal. English exams taken as part of the preparatory programme cannot be accepted as a substitute for the Erasmus+ foreign language exam.
In addition to the University's Erasmus+ foreign language exam, YDS, e-YDS, YÖKDİL, e-YÖKDİL and international foreign language exams recognised as equivalent by ÖSYM are also accepted.
Centralised/equivalent exam certificates must have been obtained within the last five years and provide a minimum score of 60/100 or an equivalent score. The current ÖSYM equivalency table is taken as the basis for the evaluation of equivalent exam results.
Students must also meet the host institution's language requirements and conditions of acceptance. Meeting our University'sminimum foreign language requirement does not necessarily mean that the host institution's language requirements have also been met.
ERASMUS+ SCORE CALCULATION
Students' Erasmus+ achievement scores are calculated using the following weightings:
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: ERASMUS+
The Erasmus+ Programme allows students to participate in study and traineeship mobility activities more than once during the same study cycle, provided that their total participation period does not exceed 12 months. Students who have previously benefited from the Erasmus+ Programme may apply again.
Deduction of Points for Second-Time Participation
Students who have previously benefited from long-term study/traineeship mobility within the same project type and the same study cycle (with or without an Erasmus+ grant) will receive a 10-point deduction from their Erasmus+ achievement score. Students will be ranked based on their scores after this deduction.
Deduction of Points for Failure to Attend the Exam or Use an Awarded Mobility Right
Students who register for the Erasmus+ foreign language exam but do not attend it, or who are selected for Erasmus+ mobility but do not use their awarded mobility right, will receive a 5-point deduction from their calculated Erasmus+ achievement score in their subsequent application.
APPLICATION AND RESULTS
Erasmus+ applications are submitted through the TURNA Portal within the application period specified in the relevant announcements.
Evaluation results are announced in the announcements section of the Istanbul Okan University website and on the Erasmuswebsite.
